Former US Vice President Al Gore visited Sale, a small town in Trafford this week for a ceremony to recognise the Woodheys Primary School, winners of the Ashden Award for Sustainable Energy.
The Ashden Awards for Sustainable Energy worldwide, recognises inventive projects which promote climate change and focus on renewable energy in the UK and developing countries.
The former US Vice President said an Ashden Awards event is an inspiration for anyone who attends. He told the ceremony there was a need for a new path, away from the present that still falls short of what's needed for a sustainable future. Gore said he was particularly impressed by the school’s projects which are truly becoming of the change that's needed in the world. “These awards have told us” he added “how to illuminate the path to a sustainable future together.”
Woodheys Primary School was rewarded with the prestigious award for its efforts in raising awareness among pupils and staff on the importance of conserving energy and initiatives it has taken locally to tackle climate change.
